87. The Lord of Dinsion.
Ruins of the Universe, General Zod's Tomb.
Alex had been ditating here for seventeen years. Since mastering the tipad, Alex found that his concept of 'ti' had subtly changed. For beings within the tiline, ti is an untouchable grand law; no one can control such a powerful force. Even with the legendary Ti Stone, ti remains an entity that cannot be easily manipulated.
Those who play with ti will eventually be played by ti. This is the warning passed down from every Supre Sorcerer to the next because human minds cannot comprehend the true essence of ti. But for Alex, after being able to freely traverse different multiverses, he had unconsciously transcended the concept of 'ti.'
The flow of ti varies in each universe. With the help of Miss Minutes, Alex could set 'anchors' between two universes to achieve cross-ti travel.
For example, if Alex set an anchor the mont he left the All-New, All-Different Universe, no matter how long he stayed in other universes, he could return to that fixed point in ti. In simple terms, he was exploiting a loophole in the multiverse. However, this seemingly simple task is extrely dangerous. The anchors set by Miss Minutes resemble nails hamred into a flowing tiline. Any mistake could result in multiple Alexes appearing on the sa tiline, potentially causing the entire universe to collapse. Therefore, before deciding to exploit this loophole, Alex had thoroughly calculated and planned with Miss Minutes.
Ultimately, Alex focused on the Ruins of the Universe because it was the only universe fully recorded in the ti controller. Even if sothing went wrong, Alex could use the ti controller to solve the problem.
Alex's goal was singular: to ditate for an extended period to enhance his mastery of magic. To better learn magic and control this extraordinary power he had never encountered before, Alex brought along John, the vampire wizard.
Originally, Alex intended to bring along the witch Linda as well. However, since her direct superior self-destructed at a glance at Alex, she refused any contact with him and directly expelled Alex and his companions from her ho, which Alex had to accept.
During these seventeen years, neither Alex nor John had changed much. John, being an immortal, could live indefinitely as long as he had blood, while Alex, being the master of the ti controller, found that 'ti' left no marks on his body.
Initially, Alex was unaware of this until he began practicing magic under John's guidance. He was surprised to find a vast amount of energy within his body, which made him a sort of radioactive source that resisted the erosion of ti.
Currently, Alex is unsure if this radiation, besides granting him immortality, has other effects. He wondered if this power could help others extend their lifespan. He had tried to use his magic to control this energy but ultimately failed.
Alex wasn't sure if his magic power was insufficient or if he couldn't control this energy yet. Regardless, he approached this unknown matter cautiously, avoiding excessive experintation to prevent uncontrollable dangers.
As for the vampire John, after Alex instantly brought him to another universe, he completely submitted and explicitly expressed his obedience. To him, Alex's power was beyond imagination.
Although Alex appeared to be an ordinary human, John couldn't muster any resistance. The reason was simple: to make John fully serve him, Alex revealed so information, such as the fact that they were in another parallel universe.
As a result, John now looked at Alex as if he were seeing phisto, the Crimson Lord, or Dormammu. By possessing control over a parallel universe, Alex was already akin to a true 'Lord of Dinsions.' The only difference was that Alex didn't have the sa level of power.
Whether it was phisto, who ruled over nurous demons at the borders of Hell, or Dormammu, who controlled the Dark Dinsion, they all possessed terrifying power beyond human comprehension. They could also harness the energy of their entire dinsion to invade other dinsions.
Their power stemd from the dinsions they controlled, just like Odin's divine power originated from Asgard. As long as Asgard wasn't destroyed, Odin's Odinforce was infinite. Odin's strength was undeniable. He had banished the Heavens and the angel race into the void and fought Galactus to a standstill at his peak.
Dormammu, the lord of the Dark Dinsion, had a similar experience. He started as a dark sorcerer and, after being banished to the Dark Dinsion, discarded his physical form to beco a mystical entity carrying terrifying dark energy.
This might explain why the minions of the Old Ones perished upon contacting Alex. In so sense or concept, Alex and the true Old One Shuma-Gorath were of the sa rank. However, this was just a hypothesis that Alex didn't personally endorse. He couldn't be sure that a demon from another dinsion would choose to die upon seeing him, suggesting deeper secrets were at play.
These secrets were beyond Alex's current understanding. For now, mastering the use and release of magic was his primary focus.
Fortunately, after seventeen years of practice, Alex had made significant progress. He might not match the proficiency of Doctor Strange, who had read countless forbidden magic books, but Alex was confident his magic use was comparable to that of ordinary sorcerers.
Slowly opening his eyes, Alex raised his hand, and a surge of gray energy gathered in his palm.
"John, how long have we been here?"
"Six thousand four hundred and eleven days, sir." John imdiately appeared by Alex's side, head bowed, and replied.
"It's been that long, huh? Ti to go back." Alex murmured. Practicing magic often led to losing track of ti, especially when one could feel their magical power growing every mont, making it easy to get lost in the pursuit of strength.
Thankfully, with John, the 'loyal servant,' by his side, Alex didn't feel too lonely over the years.
John kept his head down, silent. As an observer, he was most qualified to speak on Alex's rapid growth in power. After a year here, John realized he could no longer teach Alex. Over ti, John gradually embraced his role as a servant, tending to Alex's daily needs.
And he also enjoyed trying the fresh blood from another universe.
